The Dive Motel and Swim Club

This place is so fun!!

The coolest place to stay in Nashville!

Super fun stay! Nostalgic lobby with a full bar and funky rooms with a party switch to keep the party going. The dive also has fun events; happy hours, poll party’s with DJ’s, movie nights and pool aerobics.

Very cool retro motel with nice staff and great pool atmosphere.

The stay was good, we’ve been a few times now and we always have a great time. From the pool to the staff and the bartenders and the vibe it’s always a great time. My only point of dissatisfaction was the parking, the lot is already tiny and I really think some spots should be saved for guests. We had to park a block down at the dry cleaners and they have a huge sign that says customer parking only. The lady at the front desk advised we park at the schoool next door but they had an event going on and so the dry cleaners was our best bet. I feel they need to prioritize guests over people stopping by just for a swim. Might not stay here again just to avoid any inconvenience.

Staff were all fantastic and the free classes offered something fun to do without having to leave. We had a blast at swing class and the water aerobics the next morning was such a nice touch. Food truck and bar were both great and the Photo Booth and decor were all perfect.

Loved the vibe and comfort of the place. The pool was a great scene during the day

Our second time here and my wife and I absolutely love this place. The staff are fantastic, the pool and rooms are perfect. We definitely will be staying here again!

It’s a cute hotel but when we checked in we went to our room and it was covered in condensation. The sheets and blankets, the walls and floor. I grew up in this area so I understand humidity but we had to turn on the AC and come back in a few hours so it could dry.

Unfortunately very disappointed with booking and visiting the Dive Motel. From heavily researching the vintage rooms and briefly visiting the pool a year before, I thought this would be a perfect birthday visit. I read the website about the pool and hot tub hours which pool closed at dark or 8pm. This day was the Paradise Road Show which ended at 6pm then we'd get in the pool afterwards, no biggie. Wrong! We walk out of our hotel room in our bathing suits to get in at 6:10pm and they're cleaning everything up and the workers said they're shutting down the pool and area until the next day. What?! We don't drink nor go to bars and planned on relaxing by the pool til dinner. Also no tv in our room. So literally left with nothing to do or go. When booking nothing was mentioned on any of the booking sites about these rules, closure of pool, etc of "Road show" also on top of paying $350 for a one night stay, you would have to pay an additional $74 (2 people) because the road show was there. That was also not mentioned on booking site. I have an extreme gastrointestinal condition which I have to watch what I drink and eat. I carry my water bottle every where. It's became also my security blanket to make sure I stay hydrated and not get sick. I kept getting reprimanded because I was drinking my water outside the hotel gate at my truck in 90 degree weather. I can only eat fruit and my liquid meals and security said I have to buy food from the hotel (which no I can't or I would get sick). During the road show 11am - 6pm, once started good, there was no space to get in the pool to relax from the heat. And no lounge chairs to sit in. On top of hotel check-in wasn't until 3pm. So again, left with an awful experience. I was so excited and had such great expectations but it was quickly not what I expected nor signed up for.
